Is my camper ready to go to camp?
We have a great tool that will help you determine what is best for your camper. Take our camp readiness quiz to decide if your camper is ready for an overnight camp or if day camp might be the best option for them.
Can my Girl Scout attend as an individual?
They don't need to have their troop to have a camp adventure! Many visit camp on their own and make brand new friends that stick with them for life!
Can my Girl Scout bring a buddy?
Campers can bring a buddy from their troop or a friend who is not yet a Girl Scout. Buddies can be placed together according to program session, age, and Girl Scout level. During the registration process you may want to indicate a buddy you know is signing up for the same camp session as you. This buddy should also request you. Attending camp with a friend from home is great, it's also great to make new friends. Please limit your buddy requests to one buddy. Buddy requests are accommodated when possible, not guaranteed.
What if they are NOT a Girl Scout?
You don't have to be a Girl Scout to attend one of your camps. Whether they are a first-time camper or an experienced adventurer, an outdoor enthusiast or a creative artist, they will find their perfect program at one of our camps. For all of those who are not current Girl Scout members at the time of registration, a non-refundable $35 registration fee will apply.
When does camp registration open?
Registration officially opens January 27 at 5 p.m. Online reservations will be accepted at that time on a first-come, first-served basis.
How to Register:
Online at https://www.girlscoutsindiana.org/ it's that simple!
What does my registration include?
Registration fees include a camp patch, 2 badges, and a t-shirt. Plus, you get to make memories that will last a lifetime!
What if the weather is bad?
While at camp, every counselor is in touch with the camp director who is consistently monitoring the weather. We are aware of any storms headed our way and have procedures in place to protect our campers. Some activities may be affected by weather, and in this case, refunds are not issued.
How can I prepare my camper?
It is important for families to talk with their camper about what to expect to come this summer. The American Camp Association has great resources for families available at https://www.acacamps.org/campers-families.
May I visit my camper during camp?
Our camps are not open to parents, family, or other visitors during camp sessions so that we may provide a safe and secure environment for all participants. All participants and staff must be registered and all adults must have complete background checks prior to camp in order to attend. We do welcome adult volunteers that are able to work the entire week their Girl Scout attends camp. We will waive camp fees for your Girl Scout for working that week. Adult volunteers may be working in the kitchen and providing food service, in a unit as an assistant unit leader, or at the waterfront as a lifeguard (certification required).
Can my Girl Scout attend multiple sessions?
There is no limit to the number of sessions each Girl Scout may attend (financial assistance is available for one session only).
Will you be asking campers and staff to share their pronouns during introductions?
As we have worked to become a more inclusive and supportive organization, we routinely invite campers and staff to share their pronouns during introductions, and we will continue to do so as a way of affirming and acknowledging everyone’s identity. Campers are not required to share their pronouns.
How will campers be assigned to their sleeping accommodation?
On the application, prospective campers will be asked to list the sleeping accommodations with which they would be comfortable: same-gender, gender-inclusive, or no preference. Those who identify as girls and who request same-gender housing will be grouped together. Gender-inclusive housing is available.
How will my camper’s privacy be maintained in their unit?
We have private changing areas for all campers. In the interest of everyone’s comfort and safety, campers are asked not to change clothes in front of one another. Staff are trained to respect and maintain the privacy of campers and to reinforce a culture in which campers respect one another’s privacy.
What if our family has questions or concerns about these practices before or during camp?
Campers and camp families are welcome to ask questions or address any concerns to Customer Care at customercare@girlscoutsindiana.org or 317.924.6800. Staff are trained to bring any concerns about campers to the immediate attention of the camp director.
Is the cost that I pay for my camper to attend a camp session the actual cost?
We are delighted to offer the Girl Scout summer camp experience at a cost significantly below the actual expenses, which can average over $500 per camper. To sustain this affordability and ensure all girls benefit fully from our camp adventures, we invite you to consider making an optional contribution during the registration process. Your support makes a lasting difference in creating memorable experiences for every participant.
Is financial assistance available?
Girl Scouts of Central Indiana is committed to providing a positive experience to everyone who wants to be a Girl Scout. PAG's are provided so that a family's economic status will not be a barrier to participation.
To apply, submit the PAG application with your camp registration and health history form. A $40 deposit per Girl Scout is required to secure their placement. This deposit is not refundable unless your child cannot be placed into a session. Use a separate grant application per Girl Scout. Please fill out your PAG at the same time as your registration form.

Refunds are not given for no shows or campers leaving camp early due to personal reasons including homesickness, sports, family vacations, behavior, lice, etc.
Day Camp:
We are excited to partner with Wayne Township schools and participate in their summer food program. Wayne Township will provide breakfast and lunch free of charge to our campers each day. If your camper chooses not to participate in the free meal program, they will need to provide their own lunch each day at camp. Please plan ahead and include your child’s lunch in an insulated lunch box if possible. They will eat their lunch with their group.
A pre-packaged snack will be provided each day. To ensure camper safety, food allergies and/or special diets cannot be accommodated. Campers are welcome to bring their own non-refrigerated snacks and put in their backpack. No discount can be provided if a camper does not eat the camp snacks.

Girl Scouts of Central Indiana Camp Values
Girl Scouts of Central Indiana Transgender Inclusion Statement
As part of our ongoing effort to create a more inclusive camp experience, we have given campers the opportunity to share their pronouns and/or preferred name during introductions, but this is not required. Research has shown that respecting and affirming a person’s gender identity plays a critical role in protecting their mental health. We are committed to providing a safer experience for all campers, both physically and mentally. Showing respect for each camper’s identity is aligned with that intention.
On the application, prospective campers will be asked to list the sleeping accommodations with which they would be comfortable: same-gender, gender-inclusive, or no preference. We will do our best to support every camper in coordinating sleeping arrangements. These expanded housing options are intended to create an environment in which all campers feel safe, affirmed, and validated at camp and as part of our broader efforts to be an inclusive and equitable organization. We also recognize that this may make some parents, guardians, and campers uncomfortable and that you may have many questions about why we are doing this and just how this approach will be implemented.
This approach is the result of extensive discussions and thorough review of research surrounding the importance of supporting LGBTQ+ youth, who often face mental health challenges at significantly higher than average rates. A few statistics:
Learning more about LGBTQ+ identities and the challenges these youth encounter as they seek acceptance and affirmation can be a vulnerable process, and as a camp community, we acknowledge that we still have much more to learn. We invite you to participate in that journey with us and to help us create an even more inclusive camp experience for all our participants—without judgment or barriers, and with dignity and grace.
For more information, please see the list of resources below.
Indiana Youth Group—Resources for LGBTQ+ youth and parents
Children and Gender Identity: Supporting Your Child (Mayo Clinic)—Contains information for supporting and advocating for a gender non-conforming or transgender child
The Trevor Project—Provides information and crisis support 24/7 for LGBTQ+ youth; also publishes Guide to Being an Ally to Transgender and Nonbinary Youth
Gender Spectrum—Works with children, families, and institutions to create gender sensitive and inclusive environments; includes guidance for families considering camp for their gender-expansive children
Land Acknowledgement Statement:
We acknowledge that Girl Scouts of Central Indiana camps reside on indigenous lands. Camps Ada, Dellwood, Gallahue, Na Wa Kwa and Sycamore Valley recognize the myaamia (Miami), kaskaskia, and kikaapoi (Kickapoo) as nurturers of this land. We honor and respect the lasting relationship that exists between these communities and their territories. As we work to build courage, confidence and character in Girl Scouts, we continue to be mindful of the histories and contributions of the original caretakers and are deliberate in our efforts to honor them.
